ApplicationFebrum-y 7, 1 949, seriall -tanner This invention relates to archery ranges and is particularly adapted for practice ranges.
The primary object of this invention is to be able to control the position of the target relative to distance from the shooting station by the archer from the said shooting station.
Another object of the invention is to provide an archery range that can be operated under all weather conditions either day or night.
A further object of this invention is to design an archery range that can be located in a minimum of space at a minimum of cost.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an archery range wherein the archers are located under cover in a building and never have to leave this covering in their practice shooting.
Another object of the-invention is to design a target that will catch the major portion of the arrows for returning them to the archer.
And another object of the invention is simple operating and control mechanism for moving the target on the range that can be operated by the archer from the shooting station with'a minimum amount of efifort. Means being incorporated in the operating mechanism for automatically .positioning the target relative to distance from the shooting station.
These and other incidental objects will be apparent in the drawings, specification and claims.

Figure 11 is a 'diagrammatical wiring layout of the electric control system and the mechanism for operating the target.
Referring more specifically to the drawings:
Referring to Figure l, my invention consists of providing a building 1!, hereinafter known as the shooting station. Extending from the building are tracks 2,, -3 and 4 having targets 5, 6 and '1 running thereon. These targets consist of frames 8 mounted upon wheels 9, which are adapted to run on the tracks M. The track l0 maybe made from angle iron or any other form of material providing a track :for the target to run on.
The targets are moved. along the tracks by a cable H which has one of its ends wound about the drum |,3,, then trained about the pulley l4 and secured to the carriage of the target at l5. Another cable 16 is trained about the drum l3 and secured to the carriage 8 of The operation of this drum will be later described.
The target itself consists of a cone shaped shield l8, which is mounted to the frame l9 of the carriage 8 by any suitable fastening means. located within this cone-shaped drum is the target butt 20, which is removable from the drum 18. Extending down from the .drum is an apron 2| to which the cable 16 may be secured. This apron directs the arrows :from low shots up-into the target so that-they maybe retrieved.
Referring back to the mechanism for operating the movement of the targets, the drum [3 mounted upon a base '22 by suitable bearings 23. .A threaded shaft 24 runs parallel to the drum :and is journalled in bearings 25, which in turn are mounted to the base 22. Cable guides 25 and 26A are threadably mounted to the threaded shaft 24. These guides are threaded along the shaft '24 guiding the cable on the drum l3 during the operation of the drum. The shaft 24 is driven from the motor 21 and 21A by the driving belt 28 which drives the shaft 24 through the pulley 29, the shaft 24 in turn driving the drum I3 by the chain 30. The cable guides 26A extends upwardly at 3| and is adapted to operate the switch assemblies 32 and 33.
I will now describe these switches. They may consist of a standard switch 34 usually known as a micro switch. The switch 34 pivotally mounted at 35 having its operating plunger 36 resting on the framework 31 of the switch assembly. The switch is further held in the position illustrated in Figure 9 by the spring 52. When the switch is in this position it is in open position. Forming part of and extending upwardly is an operating button 38 extending through the opening 39 in the cover plate 40 located above the reeling mechanism.
I will now describe the operation of moving the target from the shooting station as indicated by the target 6, Figure 1, to one of the positions illustrated by the targets and '1. Referring to the diagrammatical layout and to Figures 4, 5 and 10, the yardage that itis intended to'move the target from the shooting station is observed, and the push button relating to the switch associated with this distance is brought down by the archer to the position shown in Figure 10. This will close an electric circuit through the selected switch, which delivers energy from the line supply 4| through the selected switch, as for instance the switch 42. Current will flow-into the conductor 43 from this switch through the magnetic switch 44, closing the switch bar 45 energizing th motor 21, which will drive the belt 28 rotating the threaded shaft 24 and the drum 13 in a direction to wind the cable H, and unwind the cable 16. This will move the target out on the track and at the same time move the cable guides 25 and 26A in the direction of the arrow.
It will be noted in Figure that the switch 34 is being held down by the trigger 46. When the cable guide 26A reaches the trigger 46 it will trip the same allowing the switch 24 to assume the position shown in Figure 9 breaking the electric circuit through the motor 21, stopping the rotation of the drum l3.
When it is desired to retrieve the target to the shooting station the switch 33 is closed by the archer which closes an electric circuit through this switch from the line 41, conductor 41, magnetic switch unit 48, closing the switch bar 49, delivering energy through the motor 21A back to the main line 50. This will revolve the threaded shaft 24 and the drum (3 in the opposite direction, pulling in the'cable l6 and unwinding the cable ll moving the target to the point indicated by thetarget B in Figure 1.
When the point 3| of the cable guide 26A reaches the trigger 5! of the switch 33, it will permit the switch 34 within the switch to assume the position shown in Figure 9, breaking the electric circuit through the motor 21A and stopping the operating mechanism.
The motor 27 runs in the opposite direction to the motor 21A, the motor 21' moves the target out on the range while the motor 21A returns the target to the shooting station.
Although certain specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it is obvious that many modifications thereof are possible. The invention, therefore, is not to be restricted except in so far as is necessitated by the prior art and by the spirit of the appended claims.
WhatIclaim is:
1. A target range, comprising a shooting station, a track extending from said shooting station, a mobile carriage mounted on said track for movement relative to said shooting station; an archery target supported by said carriage and facing said shooting station, said archery target including a conical guide surrounding'a matted pad, the bottom of the conical guide being in- 7 Number clined and extended forwardly of the conical guide and on the track to provide an apron to collect arrows falling from the conical guide, means for selectively moving said carriage along said track to and from said shooting station, including a drum, a cable attached to the rear of the carriage and trained over a pulley at one end of the carriage and extended forwardly to and around the drum and its opposite end secured to the front of the carriage, means for rotating the drum in one direction and reversing the drum in the opposite direction, including a series of switches to set the means for rotating the drum to position the target different distances from the shooting station, and a switch to reverse the movement of the drum to return the carriage to the shooting station.
